J&D Luthiers?...

Anyone have any information on these basses? i was in a local store today and they had a 4 and 6 string bass made by them that looked really nice and expensive, then i saw the price and thought they must be junk fake things. $500 AUD. Anyway i got the guy to plug it in and i had a play, and to my surprise, it was really nice to play. excellent slap tone, active elecs, and the pickups where the same shape as the barts that lakland basses have. which has givin me the idea to try and get it, then put the barts in it Possiibly slap a different neck in there at a later date aswell. I was quite impressed. So have a i been tricked or are these actually quality instruments??

Was it "J&D" or just "JD" - if the latter it could be a John Diggins (also known as JayDee) or a Jerzy Drozd (!!!!! Hardly ever see these with ony 4 strings !!!!!!). Either way, at 500 AUD you should BUY IT!!

Anyway, thought of doing a Google Image search to try and identify it?

Those J&D's are available here in Manila.. but i've yet to see some of their bass guitars. Our guitarist brought a Strat copy off a warehouse for 1500 pesos ( US$30!!!). We were expecting some written notes on the cavity (..y'know..like help written by a child.. ), thinking about the overhead production of this thing. i mean, $30!!! They must have cut corners with this production.
